Ingredients

• 1 cup Sun-dried tomatoes
• 1 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Oregano (dried)
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

If using very dry sun-dried tomatoes, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry. If the tomatoes are already packed in oil, proceed to the next step.

Step 2

In a clean glass jar or container with a lid, layer the sun-dried tomatoes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, sliced garlic, chopped basil, oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Pour the marinade mixture over the sun-dried tomatoes, ensuring they are fully submerged in the marinade.

Step 5

Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Before serving, allow the marinated tomatoes to come to room temperature for the best flavor. Stir the jar gently to distribute the marinade evenly.

Step 7

Use as a topping for salads, pastas, sandwiches, or enjoy them as a snack.
